[Gluster-users] Teaming vs Bond?

[WK]

OK, at least its not an *issue* with Gluster. I didn't expect any but 
you never know.

I have been amused at the 'lack' of discussion on Teaming performance 
found on Google searches.

There are lots of 'here it is and here is how to set it up' 
articles/posts, but no 'ooh-wee-wow it is awesome' comments.

It seems that for most people Bonding has worked it kinks out and thus 
serves its purpose perfectly fine, so no reason to change to Teaming.

That or they had Mahdi's experience with Teaming in its present state 
and bonding just works better for now.

For now, I'll just use tried and true ALB bonding on this project. After 
I have some free time I may play with it some more on a test bed we have 
here.

Among the 'advantages' claimed for Teaming  is the lower performance 
overhead (though "low vs very-low" may not be significant)

Thanks all for the feedback.

I'll let everyone know if my testing happens and if it is a significant 
difference (good or bad).
